Faster Than the Speed of Light: The Story of a Scientific Speculation
Blurb from Amazon: "Nothing travels faster than the speed of light, and light travels at one fixed speed. This idea is considered a foundation of modern physics, but what if it is wrong? Theoretical physicist Magueijo presents the idea that light traveled faster in the early universe than it does today. The varying speed of light theory solves some of the most intractable problems in cosmology, and could have major implications for the study of physics."

His most famous book is Innumeracy:

but all his books are nice.
Maybe they are too simple/basic?
